I'd keep physical pain. It's important info for this lovely meat sack my soul is wearing.

Hmm, stabbed in the back or stabbed in the front? It's a coin toss.

I would rather be a super taster like Ruth Reichl than hear every baby cry within a mile radius.
April 17, 2025 at 9:15 PM
Hmm, depends. Do I get to be an Aes Sedai or am I a normie?

Thoughts. I would just do pushups for those 30 seconds and all they would get is "Goddamn, my arms are weak" which is hardly a revelation.

They're trying to deport my colleague from the med school and holding her without counsel. She was coming back from a visit to her family. If there are ways to help I'll let you know. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...
She saw family in Lebanon. Now this Brown Medicine doctor is being held at Logan for deportation.
Dr. Rasha Alawieh flew into Logan Airport Thursday after visiting family in Lebanon. She's being detained now at Logan without legal counsel.

How language changes over time. Came across this gem in Agatha Christie's 'A Murder is Announced'. "‘Ye gods and little fishes,’ said Sir Henry, ‘can it be? George, it’s my own particular, one and only, four-starred pussy. The super pussy of all old pussies.'" He's talking about Miss Marple.

Whhhhhaaaaat!!! I had no idea, they also come in red.

How extraordinary. I have trouble believing something so mathematical as also edible.

Ooh, good choice. They look so fake/unreal. One day, I'll get mine to bloom.

The most sci-fi of flowers, Passiflora incarnata (purple passionflower). Native in the US from Pennsylvania south down to Florida and west to Texas. 🌱

I love the framing, light, and concept. 😍

😍 Two great pictures with such beautiful light.

It's an interesting idea. Is "normalcy" that one good simple day where you do the little creative things that make you feel content? My normal/old-school is a day near water (beach, pond, or pool) with friends and beyond the compulsive call of technology.

Just a little note to be extra sensitive when posting images like this. Different people have different proximity to historical images of violence. Given this is a person who was dehumanized within their lifetime, extra care to present time with dignity is important. Their name, image source, etc.

Ooh, an anti-AI, climate change fighting anti-heroine with a grudge.

Enjoy the smell and feel of the forest.

repost with a banger pic of you.

My outfit should I ever have a supervillain phase.

This is FANTASTIC shot.

It’s really weird that y’all are piling on a disabled black dude who specifically focuses on disability justice and accessibility for *checks notes* pointing out ableist language.

Y’all really ain’t like having ways you can improve called out huh.

I'll be looking askance at egg whites for the rest of the day.
